FORTUNE -- If there's any scenario in which it's acceptable to wear a football jersey to the office, it's probably when the home team is playing in the Super Bowl.
That's the case this week for avid fans in Seattle and Denver, and many businesses are encouraging the fevered excitement. The football matchup is daunting defense (Seahawks) vs. dominant offense (Broncos), but on the business side it's Emerald City tech vs. Rocky Mountain environmentalism. It's rainy coastal corporations vs. thin-air, ski-bum bosses. It's blue and silver vs. blue and orange.
On the Fortune 500 side, it's powerhouse brands like Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon (AMZN) vs. a slew of large but lesser-known companies like CH2M Hill and Newmont Mining (NEM). Englewood, just outside of Denver, is also home to the headquarters of Western Union (WU) and Dish Network (DISH).
Both states boast almost the same number of companies on the 2013 Fortune 500 list: Colorado has 10 to Washington's eight. Consumers are more likely to know more of the Seattle companies: In addition to the aforementioned tech giants, the metro area is home to iconic Starbucks (SBUX), Costco (COST), and retailer Nordstrom (JWN). Also on the list: truck-maker Paccar (PCAR) and timberlands owner Weyerhaeuser (WY). Colorado has Arrow Electronics (ARW) and metal packaging-maker Ball (BLL) among its 10.

On the revenue side, the numbers aren't as close: The eight Washington companies had total combined 2012 revenues of $289.5 billion, while Colorado's 10 tallied $100.8 billion. As you'd expect, not all of those big Seattle moneymakers are eager to talk trash. Amazon and Starbucks declined. And a Nordstrom spokesperson wrote us, "We serve customers all over the country and do not want to disappoint those who may not call the Seahawks 'their team.'" But some companies embrace the face-off.
CH2M Hill finds itself in a fun position: headquartered in Denver, but with a large office in Seattle. There, Seattle area manager Dave Sturtevant has struck a bet with the company's CEO Jacqueline Hinman: If the Broncos win, Sturtevant will donate $2,000 of his own money to The Greenway Foundation, located in Denver. If the Seahawks win, CEO Hinman will have to contribute the same amount to Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust in Seattle.
In an email sent Tuesday to the Seattle office and obtained by Fortune, facilities manager Brian Rosell explained the bet (opening the letter: "Hey CH2M Hill 12th Man, are you ready for some FOOTBALL?") and added another layer. In addition to the charitable contributions, new U.S. region director Patrick O'Keefe, based in Denver, will have to wear a Seahawks hat to an officewide brown-bag lunch in Seattle in February; if the Broncos win, Rosell will wear a Broncos hat to the equivalent event in Denver.
In addition to the bets, employees are all decked out today. "Attention Broncos fans, it's time to ride!" read a loud, large-font email sent this week to employees on the Denver campus with Friday instructions. "We did it for the playoffs, let's do it for the Super Bowl ... Pull out that orange and wear it proudly!"
Western Union CEO Hikmet Ersek, a former professional athlete himself (he played basketball in Europe), is especially excited. "Manning's leadership has transformed the playing field, setting a new tone for the Broncos," Ersek tells Fortune. "Sunday's game is the seventh time in franchise history that the Broncos have played in a Super Bowl. We're bringing home the trophy, where it belongs."
While Microsoft wouldn't exactly send over trash-talk from CEO Steve Ballmer, the Seattle-based giant did clue us in on what it's doing internally to get pumped up. This week's Seahawks spirit-setting around its central employee campus, The Commons, included 12th Man cookies, giving out 100 Seahawks "swag packs" from the company store, and dispersing Seahawks scarves from Bing. All receptionists, shuttle drivers, and cafe workers are decked out in Hawks gear today, and last week the winner of a "Big Game Blitz" employee contest won two tickets to the Super Bowl.

The startups in these cities aren't keeping quiet either. At Seattle-based Porch, which aims to use big data to improve the home-improvement industry, yesterday was "Blue Thursday." (Every Friday is "Blue Friday" for Seahawks nation during the season, but Porch employees wore the Hawks colors all week.) Porch founder and CEO Matt Ehrlichman will be attending the Super Bowl and wrote a blog post on the company website this week in which he enumerates leadership tips embodied by Seattle coach Pete Carroll. He writes that in building Porch, he "borrowed many of the philosophies that Pete Carroll preaches."
Football fever is just as high at Denver startups -- even if some try to be classy about their fandom. Steve Swoboda, co-founder of video advertising startup SpotXchange, remembers last year, when the company rented a suite at MetLife Stadium in New York for the Broncos vs. Giants game. "It turned into a blowout. Most of the SpotXchange crew at the game were Broncos fans, but our guests were largely Giants fans, so we had to tone down our enthusiasm," he tells Fortune. "Colorado is a pretty friendly state ... but make no mistake, we're fierce on the battlefield and this is one week SpotXchange won't be shy about showing our Broncos pride."
Both teams, clearly, will have rowdy supporters from corporate America cheering for them on Sunday. Of course, if you apply the corporate angle to the game's two quarterbacks, that one isn't much of a contest: Peyton Manning, hard to avoid on your television even during the football offseason, is loaded up with far more brand endorsement deals than his counterpart Russell Wilson. (See: The 10 highest-earning U.S. athletes.) But on the field, all of that will just be background noise.
The home teams in the NFC and AFC championships excluded ticket-buyers from much of the country. Experts say the practice is legally dubious.

FORTUNE -- Over the weekend, the National Football League's Seattle Seahawks beat the New Orleans Saints, and the Denver Broncos beat the San Diego Chargers. By Sunday night, both teams were saying: "No tickets for you!" to fans of their next opponents.

The millions of Americans who struggle to get a good night's sleep have a new worry to add to their tossing and turning: researchers have found surprising links between lack of sleep and several types of cancer, including prostate, breast, and colon cancer, among others.
Sleep disorders are a widespread problem, affecting 50 to 70 million Americans, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Sleep insufficiency is also linked to reduced quality of life and increased mortality.
Arm yourself with knowledge—and the good practices that can help you get a full night's sleep—to limit your chances of developing illness down the road.
Men who reported trouble sleeping were up to twice as likely to develop prostate cancer as those who slept well, according to a new paper published in the journal, Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. This association was even stronger in cases of advanced prostate cancer, and the risk increased relative to the severity of the sleep problems.
The study, which took place at the University of Iceland, followed more than 2,100 older men, among whom 8.7% and 5.7% reported "severe" or "very severe" sleep problems, respectively. None of the participants had prostate cancer at the start of the study, but 6.4% developed the disease within five years. Troubled sleepers, including those with problems falling asleep or staying asleep, were far more likely to develop prostate cancer.
The lead researcher, Lara Sigurdardottir, Ph.D., expects that, "If our results are confirmed in future studies, sleep may become a potential target for intervention to reduce the risk of prostate cancer."
Fortunately, rates of diagnosis and death from prostate cancer have been declining in the United States since the 1990s. However, the disease remains a leading health concern—and the second most common cause of cancer deaths—among American men.
Lack of sleep has been linked to other forms of cancer, as well. Sigurdardottir notes that, "Most observational studies to date on circadian disruption and cancer have investigated the association between shift work and cancer risk. Among men, there are indications for increased risk of some cancers among night shift workers, such as prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma."
Causes and Treatments for Erectile Dysfunction
Sleepless men aren't the only ones facing greater danger from cancer. Too little sleep may also contribute to the recurrence of breast cancer among women, according to a recent study published in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment.
The researchers surveyed 412 women diagnosed with pre-menopausal breast cancer about their average length of sleep each night. Their analysis of participants' responses and medical records uncovered a link between duration of slumber and cancer recurrence, as well as aggressive tumors. Women who slept an average of six hours or less each night were more susceptible to cancer recurrence than women who caught more z's.
The researchers speculate that efforts to increase duration and improve quality of sleep could reduce women's risk of developing more aggressive and recurrent breast cancers.
Another recent study from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine found that people who snooze for less than six hours each night are at 50% greater risk of developing colorectal adenomas than those who sleep for seven hours or more. Colorectal adenomas—a common form of polyp—can develop into cancer tumors if left untreated.
Participants in the study were asked to complete a survey by phone before attending a colonoscopy. Even after adjusting for other risk factors, including family history, waist-to-hip ratio (a measure of obesity), and smoking, there was a clear link between sleep deprivation and adenomas.
Foods with Healing Powers: Could Garlic Prevent Cancer?
No one knows for sure why lack of sleep is linked to cancer. However, in an interview with Science Daily, Li Li, M.D., a family physician and Associate Professor of Family Medicine, Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, theorized that, "less sleep may mean less production of melatonin, a natural hormone that in animals has been linked to DNA repair." In animal studies among mice and rats, melatonin has been shown to prevent and delay cancer growth.
Li also suggests that, "insulin resistance may underlie the link between sleep disturbance and cancer development." This hypothesis is supported by previous research findings, which have identified potential links between chronic sleep loss, insulin resistance, obesity, and cancer.
Reduce your risk of cancer and other life-threatening illnesses by getting enough sleep at night. If you find yourself tossing and turning, or waking up tired each morning, follow these simple steps to get the rest you need:

There are so many ideas for gift baskets that once you see a few, you're going to have a really hard time picking just one!
Going with a food motif
There are simply too many ideas for gift baskets to run through in one article, but we'll give it a shot. Let's start with food. Food is always a very popular gift basket idea. People love to eat and gift baskets usually include good food that people otherwise not think to buy. To satisfy those who have sweet tooths, pick up a basket full of chocolate. Some of these baskets are actually chocolate towers because they're made up of several different stacked boxes of chocolate. Chocolate gift baskets include all kinds of chocolate — dark chocolate, light chocolate, truffles, tuttles, creams — you name it, they've got it. All you have to do is ask. If chocolate isn't their thing, get on-line and visit a gourmet food store. These stores have all kinds of candy. For the old timers, get on the Web and find a place that specializes in candy that you can no longer find on every shelf. They'll love getting a basket full of candy that they ate when they were a little kid!
For the salty person, get a basket full of gourmet mustards, sauces, dips and chips. These baskets can also include pretzels and other phenomenal salty treats such as sausage. Ideas for gift baskets can include anything. For example, if you're not sure the person likes salt, but they always seem to talk about how much they love salsa, put different salsas in the basket with the chips.
When we say food, we don't mean that the basket has to include solid food. Ideas for gift baskets also include "food" gift baskets that are more like "liquid" gift baskets. This would include a gift basket full of wine, a basket centered on coffee or a basket centered around different teas. In these baskets you can add food such as cheese and crackers, scones or wafer crackers.
Having some fun
Now, not all ideas for gift baskets have to include food. You can get a spa gift basket that includes all kind of scented materials such as bubble bath and body wash for a shower or bath. Aromatic candles, slippers and robes can also be put in these baskets. Looking for gift baskets for kids? No problem. You can find baskets full of art supplies for the kiddos. These baskets are a lot of fun and will probably include markers, water colors, coloring books and crayons. If you want to be extra nice, you could probably sneak in a piece of candy or two. Though adults don't need ideas for gift baskets to include candy, kids love it!

Baby2Baby supplies families in need with essential baby gear and clothing for their children up to age 12. By distributing new and gently used items to over 50 non-profit organizations, Baby2Baby reaches over 67,000 children per year.
As a mother, I cannot imagine what it must be like for parents who cannot afford the most basic necessities for their babies. No child, regardless of his/her family's socio-economic status, should ever be without diapers, food, clothing or hygiene items. Our goal is to help alleviate some of the burden on these families by providing them with these essentials.
We take the basic necessities for granted, but for many families, it's a serious struggle. This is one way to ease the financial burden, and help new babies have a good start in life.

(Pitta Iris)
Rainbow Pittas live in rainforest, mangrove and eucalyptus forest. Their distribution is little pockets in vine forests in coastal Arnhem Lands, NT and northwestern Kimberleys, WA. Also Melville Island and Groote Eylandt.
They forage unobtrusively in the leaf litter of the forest floor hopping along, pausing to poke with the bill and to snatch and break open hard-shelled prey. Land snails, worms and ground-living insects are their staple diet.
They are mainly terrestrial birds and breed from November to March. They build a large dome nest, varying to shallower, partly open nest that is approximately 110mm in diameter 40mm deep. They use sticks, leaves, grasses, pieces of dead bamboo to build the outside dome and lined with pieces of decaying wood and grass.

SBA Has a New Initiative to Help Veterans Access Capital and Become Entrepreneurs or Expand Existing Businesses
by Rhett_Jeppson, SBA Official
- Created: May 21, 2013, 2:04 pm
- Updated: May 27, 2013, 12:01 am
Are you a veteran transitioning from active service and want to become an entrepreneur? Or perhaps you've been out of the service for some time and want to start a new small business or expand an existing one?
If that's you or someone you know, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced the SBA Veteran Pledge Initiative, a new commitment by its top national regional and community lenders to collectively increase their lending activity to veterans by five percent per year for the next five years. This initiative has the potential to boost the already $2.1 billion per year in lending support that various SBA programs provide to new and existing vet small business owners.
I've heard stories that many veteran entrepreneurs face challenges in raising capital or have trouble receiving a conventional loan. This is why getting out the word about this new initiative is so important. With the support of SBA's top 20 national lending partners, and approximately 100 additional regional and community lending partners across the United States, SBA expects to assist an additional 2,000 veterans obtain loans to start or expand small businesses by increasing lending by $475 million over the next five years.
The combined goal by the top 20 national lending partners' will provide nearly $249 million of lending, potentially impacting nearly 800 veteran entrepreneurs. The five percent increase in lending by approximately 10 lenders in each of the 10 Regions will account for the remaining $226 million in loans and more than 1,100 additional veteran entrepreneurs assisted.
I know that if we support our veteran entrepreneurs, and provide them with the tools they need, they will have a higher chance of success. Already, veterans make up a large number of successful small business owners. Nearly one in ten of small businesses are veteran-owned. These 2.45 million veteran-owned businesses employ more than 5 million individuals. In the private sector workforce, veterans are more likely than those with no active-duty military experience to be self-employed.
I just have to echo SBA Administrator Karen Mills, speaking recently at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, who said "Our service men and women have made incalculable contributions and sacrifices for our country, and supporting them as they pursue their dreams to start or grow their own business is one of SBA's highest priorities. Through this partnership with national lending partners and regional lenders across the U.S. we stand ready to serve veteran entrepreneurs with loan- guarantees, entrepreneurial training, and resources that are critical tools to help them start businesses, drive the local economy and create jobs for themselves and their communities."
So for all of you aspiring and existing entrepreneurs, if you need capital for your small business, please call one of SBA's 68 local district offices, or one of its 15 Veterans Business Outreach Centers nationwide.
SBA's resources for veterans, and its partnership with 1,000 Small Business Development Centers and some 12,000 SCORE-Counselors to America's Small Businesses volunteers, help more than 200,000 veterans, service-disabled veterans and reservists each year.

but the truth is banks hold the money and WILL NOT lend. They can come up
with any excuse you can think of NOT to lend. I have been trying for almost
two years now to get a business loan with no success at all. Other than
wasting my time filling out stacks of SBA paperwork and pleading our case to
banks. Only to be turned away again for one reason or another. The numbers
sound great and the promise holds no water, so it doesn't balance out in any
Veterans favor. You have to have lock tight solid credit and almost as much
cash or some other means to secure the loan than the loan amount. How is that
a benefit to anyone. Banks don't want to lend and the business's need
capital. Where is proof that this works ? The Patriot Express is a joke and
gives no advantage to Veterans, except more paperwork. Yes I am frustrated
and dissapointed with the SBA and banks. Everyone says "This country was
built by small business" So what happened to that ? Just another talking
point and smoke. If the SBA wants help, force banks to lend and get these
businesses the money they need. Stop blaming current business owners for the
mistakes of banks past loaning to anyone and everyone. Now they don't want to
loan to anyone so they can sit on fat stacks of cash and get bloated with
cash while small business's struggle to meet day to day costs.

everyone said no. The bankers even told me "we're not in the business of VC

business in September of 2012. The year prior to our opening we tried to get
a business loan. One excuse after another was given. Banks do not want to
lend money to anything. And the SBA ? Well they claim to help and load you up
with all kinds of paperwork and then throw you into the bank sharks again.
More excuses come again. We have been running our business mainly on money
from family and what we make in sales. But the well is running dry and we
need to secure funding soon or we will be forced to close our doors. And then
yet another Veteran owned business will close. I agree with you that this
plan is no better or different than any other smoke the SBA and banks have

express. I have been fairly disappointed in you VA initiative as none have
resulted in a successful loan application. I have found that most initiatives
are ineffective and the only benefit they provide is talking points for high
paid administrators and elected officials. Patriot express for example had
the same requirement for approval as any other sba given to non vets. Many
vets face barriers to finding adequate financing like recent divorce,
injuries, predatory lenders and others that have adverse affects on their
ability to find financing. What type of program are starting to give vets a
second opportunity to overcome these hurdles to becoming entrepreneurs.

1001 Longwood Rd, Kennett Square, PA | Directions 1934839.871190 -75.675155
What a beautiful place to have right here in the neighborhood.
Beautiful. I wouldn't recommend going on a hot day though, it is a lot of walking. Other than that, there isn't anything wrong with this place. It's beautiful, relaxung, romantic. Absolutely love it.
Guys like it too! (And non-gardeners) – It's such an amazing garden than non-gardeners, men, women, children... everyone seems to enjoy it. It really is the only garden that I don't have to drag the men in my life to go and see. I visit several times a year, since so much changes seasonally - and it is worth a 3 hour drive. (Actually we just moved and now it is 1.5 hours away, but we used to commute over 3 hours to see it all of the time.) I can't recommend it enough!!
Beautiful in any weather, any season – Longwood is absolutely beautiful! The new East Conservatory (which is now open, in response to the negative review) adds even more interest on cold or rainy days than before and there are 3 more conservatories soon to open including a Children's Garden. The floral displays are beautiful and on a very large scale. Spend two days if possible because there is so much to see. Also, be sure to check out the fountain displays which run daily. On summer evenings they are timed with lights and music, even fireworks several times throughout the summer. These are brilliant displays definitely worth watching. Definitely visit Longwood Gardens.
Flowers and plants as far as the eye can see. – In Short
Old-timers refer to Longwood Gardens as "Du Pont Gardens," after industrialist Pierre S. du Pont, who created the 1,050-acre estate, complete with lavish horticultural displays. One of the world's premier destinations for the florally inclined, it encompasses 20 outdoor gardens, 20 indoor gardens, four acres of heated greenhouses and 11,000 different types of plants. Longwood is open every day of the year and attracts more than 900,000 visitors annually.
Completely disappointed – During my recent visit in late January, 1/2 of the conservatory was closed for rennovation and the Terrace Restaurant was also closed for repair. Yet, Longwood gouged visitors the full admission price for just half the attractions. Why didn't they compensate for half of their facility being closed by also reducing their hefty admission price of $12?
Heaven in PA – This is the most beautiful place I have ever been. It is so serene, and peaceful that you almost forget that we are living in such troubled times. Try going for Christmas.......it will shake the Bah Hum Bug out of any scrooge!!
Good for all occasions – Longwood garden is different everytime you visit it and it is hard to describe the place as it is composed of many mini-gardens that present various themes from season to season. Traveling to the place can be a major pain but the trip is definitely worth taking!
Take Time to Smell the Flowers – This is a tough category because the attractions are so diverse, I mean, sometimes you are in the mood to do some gamling amidst the lovely gaudiness of Atlantic City and other times you are in the mood to slow down a little bit, or stop altogether, and take time to smell the flowers. If you are in one of these moods, then there is no better place than Longwood Gardens, beautiful year round, with fountains in the summer and a gorgeous display of lights and seasonal decorations during the Christmas season. It would be a shame to live in this area and never visit Longwood.
A Place for All Seasons – Any season of the year you'll find beauty at this fantastic garden. Christmas is especially wonderful. We're from TX and find this to be a place we enjoy returning to when in area.

A Whole Year Without Plastic?!
I posted a few days ago about my new haircut, which I inadvertently made as a New Year's resolution I guess. So, bring on 2014. I already knocked out and completed my goal for 2013! Kidding. I didn't want to come up with some standard resolutions that everyone does, even though they still exist on the bottom of my list, but my top resolution is a rather lofty and impactful goal.
2013 Resolution: Rise Above Plastics. Attempt to go a whole year without using, or significantly reducing my plastic footprint.
I was very inspired by this after I attended the East Coast Chapter Summit with the Surfrider Foundation, and really hope to follow through on cutting out as much plastic as possible. The facts are pretty evident I quickly found out, and in many parts of our oceans there exists this sort of plasticy soup, a gyre as it's called. According to the organization Rise Above Plastics, plastic is all around us. It's in our homes, our offices, our vehicles, our yards and our playgrounds. We use it to package food, bottle products, bag produce, make dinnerware and utensils, make toys and more.
Plastics have undoubtedly helped us to manufacture, package and ship goods more easily, for less money, and in some cases, more safely than ever before. But, plastics pose a significant threat to our planet as well. Part of the problem is plastic itself. The very qualities that make it an adaptable and durable product to use, also make plastic an environmental nightmare. You see, plastics do not biodegrade. Instead they photodegrade – breaking down under exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays, into smaller and smaller pieces.
The bottom line is that with the exception of the small amount that has been incinerated, virtually every piece of plastic that was ever made still exists in some shape or form.
The Rise Above Plastic's mission is simple: to reduce the impacts of plastics in the marine environment by raising awareness about the dangers of plastic pollution and by advocating for a reduction of single-use plastics and the recycling of all plastics. I encourage you to follow 'RAP' on Facebook and Twitter, and be a leader and advocate for change. "Ban the Bag" from your city if you are so empowered to do so.
Some other easy things you can do to reduce your 'plastic footprint' and help keep plastics out of the marine environment are choosing to reuse when it comes to shopping bags and bottled water; refuse single-serving packaging, excess packaging, straws and other 'disposable' plastics; reduce everyday plastics such as sandwich bags and juice cartons; bring your to-go mug with you; and recycle! If you must use plastic, try to choose #1 (PETE) or #2 (HDPE), which are the most commonly recycled plastics. Avoid plastic bags and polystyrene foam as both typically have very low recycling rates. Wish me luck!

Here's how RW members rated this race (1537 votes).
In short: despite other comments, I really enjoyed it!!!In full: There are still some basic improvements to be made but I enjoyed this run more than I ever thought I would enjoy a marathon!Firstly the negatives - the toilets at the start! When i got there at about 09,40 it was chaos, although there were loads of toilets most of them seemed to be locked, presumably already out of order?Secondly, there were no (and I mean zero) marshalls at the start to tell you were to go, which is not as obvious as it sounds in a big race like this. Apart from these niggles, I found it be a very pleasant route, down out of Edinburgh, through a very nice seaside town and out along the coast, then back again to finish in Musselburgh Park.Plenty of support in the residential areas, regular water stations & gels being given out nearer the finish.It was hot (which personally I enjoyed) but comments about starting earlier to avoid this seem a bit silly as we are not in southern Europe but Scotland, and it is just as likely to be snowing next year! I recognised that getting back to Edinburgh was going to be an issue so my wife drove to Musselburgh and parked just up the road from the bus park.All in all, I really enjoyed the day out.Date of review: May 31, 2012
In short: Just not runner-friendly enough!In full: CONS- started too late (far too hot)- some sections were just too narrow (e.g. the beach promenade). I started in the black pen and at some points I was literally reduced to walking (or stopping - v painful!!) because there was just not enough space. There was also traffic at some points ?! (running alongside a big smelly double decker bus is not nice).- the road surface was dubious especially the track at Gosford house (totally wasn't expecting it or prepared so late on in the race)- because of the sheer number of people, the promenade section was really uncomfortable (couldn't see the big bollards in the middle of the path until it was too late)- getting to the buses post race was a bit of a task. After walking (slightly uphill but felt like Everest!) there was a massive queue to contend with. - bus tickets should be included in the price- there were some downhill bits at the start but couldn't get past anyone because there were just too many people- out and back along what is a boring stretch of road anyway(mile 17 to about 20 I think) was hardgoing - felt never ending. Makeshift water station at Gosford helped (those people are so kind they deserve a medal) but there should have been a proper stationPROS- Locals really friendly- Marshals friendly and did a great job- city is great for post run celebrations! p.s. phallic medal is too bizarre!!!Date of review: May 31, 2012
In short: A decent race but some organisational flaws need addressing.In full: Edinburgh 2012 full Marathon:The route is scenic, but could perhaps do with having a little more of Edinburgh in it - although I have to say that in the towns along the route we did get some great support, and the ordinary people who got their hosepipes out were invaluable! I found some of the emails coming through from the organisers beforehand a little confusing, I think some paperwork coming through with the running numbers would have been better. Drinks and carb gel stations were plentiful. The main problem was the finish area. You had a job locating the baggage lorries, and the transport options back need to be improved. The medal and the shirt were top notch though!Date of review: May 31, 2012
In short: poorly organised and transport back was just a jokeIn full: While i accept everyones comments about not being able to help the weather i do think that the race could have started at 8am instead of 10. I'm not sure if this is to make more money or what the deal is but on a hot day like sunday was (and it appears it quite often is hot in Edinburgh at the end of May) starting a marathon at 10 is just silly. If people really want to run the race, they'll be there for 8am just like all those running the half had to be.The relay was just annoying.Fresh legged people running in and around you, cutting you up at 20 miles was really frustrasting.The goody bags were poor. Yes there were some half decent deals in the electronic one, but really a little square of oat bar after 26.2 miles? Maybe there were bananas at the finish line, but i didn't see any, which seemed strange. First race i've been to where they didn't give out bananas!The buses were just ridiculous. While i get that a walk after such a run is a good idea, that distance and the lines for the buses was just ridiculous. I also wondered why i'd bothered to pay for a bus ticket in advance when no one was bothering to check them! Why couldn't the race have finished somewhere in the city? Maybe there is an obvious answer to this question...Date of review: May 31, 2012
In short: Great race for first marathonIn full: Maybe I had been scared off by tales of problems at previous Edinburgh marathons, but I found this to be a well-organised race, with great support from the public, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole day.The only thing I could think of as a "problem" was the rather long walk to get a bus back to my car, and the long queue for buses back to the centre of Edinburgh. But Edinburgh is a city that has totally screwed up everything to do with transport, and that's hardly the organisers' fault.A couple of degrees cooler next year might be nice!Date of review: May 31, 2012
In short: Great run with brilliant supportIn full: First marathon. I thought it was well a organised race with plenty of water and gels on a baking hot day. Lots of first aid stations which felt reassuring. Out and back section gets a bit lonely between 15-18 miles but the scenery there is beautiful and the support towards the finish was amazing. Good finish area, nice t-shirt and the biggest medal ever. A little expensive but overall a great race.Date of review: May 31, 2012
In short: A long, lonely run close to Edinburgh...but not close enough to see anything!In full: This was my 2nd marathon after Paris last year, though I'd run the Shakespeare Half on the marathon route this year too. The race wasn't on a par with either of them, which was disappointing.Pre-Race - The website was hard-to-navigate and confusing (I eventually found my entry details in the faq section!), with some misinformation. For instance, the numbers and chips were sent a week later than advertised, giving me the jitters somewhat.Start - Starting points weren't particularly well signposted, and the start areas felt a little flat. The support at the start was virtually non-existent! Pens weren't marshalled at all, but there didn't seem to be many problems with people jumping pens. Plenty of toilets.Course - The course had more inclines than I expected. It couldn't be classed as hilly, but there were a number of long shallow climbs and it certainly wasn't flat or downhill! Still plenty of PB potential though.My biggest disappointment was that it wasn't an 'Edinburgh' marathon. It started on the very edge of the city and headed straight out. Not a landmark in sight! What a shame. This was more of a pleasant countryside run.The lack of energy drinks amazed me...surely somebody would want to sponsor the race?! Only gels were provided, and as these tend to be a personal choice anyway, most people ended up carrying their own. Running out of water was criminal!Only the last mile was well supported (in terms of numbers), though where there were sporadic supporters, their support was good. For long periods it felt like a lonely run! The Shakespeare Marathon was better supported in torrential rain and gale-force winds!Marshalling/policing on the course was very good. No complaints there!Post Race - Really, really poor goody bag! I'm not talking about freebies, but a tiny square of oat flapjack isn't enough after a marathon!The long, uphill walk to the buses was unacceptable. The organisers need to get the hostile locals on-side or change sites completely.The comically phallic medal and T-Shirt were great, but I'd have preferred to do without if the above was sorted out.Date of review: May 31, 2012
In short: I did the half and felt sorry for the full marathon runnersIn full: I have run the full marathon here three times, relay once and also did the recent rock n roll half. The start time is nuts, ok weather unpredictable but it has been a hot day in recent years so wakey wakey organisers. The comment about Ryanair is funny and true but to do the course in town involves hills, the rock n roll was fun but hilly. No energy drinks on the half and just normal bottles instead of sports caps. Organisation is getting better though, just needs some professionalism adding.Date of review: May 30, 2012
In short: Poor organisation, its like they were embarrassed it was going onIn full: There was a complete lack of water, especially given the hot conditions. Luckily a few locals came out and supplied water, sweets and hosepipe spray, without that it would've been even tougher. I was amazed by the lack of support from Edinburgh locals near the start. Perhaps I've been spoiled by doing London twice before but that is in an entirely different league to this as a race from a support, organisation and route point of view.Date of review: May 30, 2012
In short: Weather made it tough but really enjoyed my first marathonIn full: As my first marathon i didnt realy know what to expect. Despite some negative comments from previous years i found the organisation and whole event fantastic.As i mentioned the weather was very hot but there were ample water statins and the locals with encouragement and hosepipes made what could have been a real nightmare a wonderful day.Date of review: May 30, 2012

2XU pro triathlete Cait Snow reflects on Kona and what she's learned.
5 Dec 2013 / Cait Snow , Ironman , 2xu athlete , triathlon / 0 Comments / Comment
Mentally, leading up to Kona, I was in a different place than I've been in years past. While I didn't slack off at all, I felt a lot more relaxed, especially in the hours between training sessions. Three weeks before the race, I "moved" to Kona to acclimate to the heat and time—a six-hour difference from home. This was also the beginning of my taper, so the volume over those weeks was a bit on the lighter side.

When I started triathlon I had zero swim experience. Well, I shouldn't say zero, I did know how to doggie paddle and could safely disembark from a water slide. I knew so little that, when I learned how to swim a few lengths of the pool in one go, I thought that that would certainly suffice to get me through my first triathlon ahead of most of my competitors.
Selfless Support by 2XU Athlete Branden Rakita
24 Oct 2013 / Athlete Tips , Support , Branden Rakita , Xterra , 2XU Triathlon , 2XU , 2xu athlete , triathlon / 0 Comments / Comment
As a sport, triathlon is an individual endeavor. Everyone takes time out of their day to put in the work, the majority of the time, in solo efforts, each stroke, each turn of the pedal and every stride is all put forth with our own solo effort. Every racer, including every "participant", in every race, from the first to the last athlete across the line gets there on their own free will and choice. In each race there is not one time where we can place that effort or burden to get to the end on anyone else like you can in team sports.
2XU's Pro Triathlete, Thomas Gerlach - "Make Recovery Your #1 Priority"
22 Oct 2013 / Thomas Gerlach , recovery , 2XU Triathlon , Ironman , 2XU , 2xu athlete , triathlon / 0 Comments / Comment
As someone who races many IRONMAN's a year, one of the most frequent questions I get from my peers is "how do you recover and race so often?" The answer is complicated and there are many different things that contribute to my recovery, but ultimately it is about making recovery a priority.

324 S Pitney Rd, Galloway, NJ | Directions 0820539.463477 -74.493353
Always pleased – Good food, never disappointed. The Chicken Rosa is especially good.
Gourmet??? Really? more like crap – The atmosphere is nice too bad the food is worse than tv dinners. We had just moved ot the area when we ate there and I thought it was really "gourmet"...that was a joke. After the food came I was wishing we had just gone to shoprite and picked up a few tv dinners
my prime rib was purple, half of the rehersal dinner guests did not eat their food. I complained to the manager and they gave me $260 for my trouble. what a joke! stay away from this company and the Carriage House as they are the same place.
Smithville Inn was awesome for the wedding- highly recommend them!!!
Don't spend your money here – Maybe the Gourmet is all you have in Galloway, NJ. Maybe you should drive 5 more minutes in any direction.
Went to the gourmet the other night, gentleman in the corner, sitting at a podium? staring at everyone creepy. Is that the owner? I get the feeling of controlling micromanagement of the place. Let's not forget I called that night for directions and waited forever on hold. Ok, so I went a week later for lunch with 3 friends. Sat in the bar area. Basically no one else, except maybe 10 using the room behind for a catered event. Well, it might as well be as if we don't exist. Worst service ever. Makes me wonder why I just don't go to McDonalds, I am spending good money for poor service, yup. One waitress to run the entire place. There is no one else that is scheduled or can come in to work? I guess that's how you make your money. Very poor service. And there are two or three people standing around to greet you when you come in the door. I won't be going again for lunch or dinner. Wait an hour to get lunch. Drinks empty. Food mediocre. Let me tell you where the food and service is much better.... Applebees, TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesdays, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Chillis, Marizios, Changs, China May, Mill Street Pub, Los Amigos, Yama, etc. No need to complain, just don't go. Your money and word of mouth is the best way to promote good service. I think of this place like a good looking girl that you don't know. You're drawn in by looks, but get to know her, and you will split quick. How about I call it... Mediocre Italian Cuisine.

Release Date: 2008 |
Downloading, commence!
Gloomy emo....sick.
youve been busy i am the robots
This album fucking blows donkey dick.
go fuck yourself for being a closed minded retard
they both look crap
I'm not too closed minded, when it comes to music hence I downloaded the album, and sat painfully and listened to the entire thing, and gave it a huge chance. It was just really fucking boring...and I'm sorry that you like them, try writing a review that matters.
It's totally not a 2, I'm just saying that if you say Winds Of Plague is good and this is poor... well, lol, I can't take your opinion too seriously.
I'm listening to the first track now it's decent, nothing mind-blowing though.
Yeah chickenfish, wtf are you on, this is anything but boring.This Message Edited On 02.03.08
It's pretty damn epic though.
You both, die.
stfu noob
This is like your second time saying noob, towards me. I hope you're not being serious when you use it...because when I read that, I laughed. I know you're not serious though, it's chill. This band sucks, end of phucking story.
dude, i can see it not being your thing and thats cool, but it doesnt suck by any means
and once more, if you think winds of plague is good, youre most likely a noobThis Message Edited On 02.04.08
If we're talking about technicality, which I presume you are now, it's not that great man. It really isn't I'm sorry.
You're still talking about Winds of Plague, phuck dude. Lest I clear this up now, so I can steer away from future debates involving phucking Winds of Plague. I don't by any means they're an amazing band or anything, but they're not bad musicians, and their music TO ME is quite catchy. They have some interesting shit in there, although they get a bit tiresome.
NO more Winds of Plague talk, I've never had to hear so many noobs or Winds of Plagues in my life.This Message Edited On 02.04.08
who the fuck gives a shit about technicality? musics about feeling
but it doesn't suck by any means
I thought you meant they didn't technically suck. Which they don't, but they suck in way you ARE talking about. The feeling I get is boredom, but hey yours differs so what can I do?
Also, if you say music is about feeling then how could you make a statement like this...
and once more, if you think winds of plague is good, youre most likely a noob?
but it doesn't suck by any means
and once more, if you think winds of plague is good, youre most likely a noob
chickenfish just don't reply, we all know the crap robots listens too.
But he seems to think it's epic, and that just isn't going to fly.
I like similar music to this and I even think this is somewhat boring, abit too droning.
and once more, if you think winds of plague is good, youre most likely a noob
You know you're a noob.......when you think Winds of Plague is good.

Clay, the defending champion, finished at 6-over-par 150 for the 36 holes and finished tied for 14th. Jordan, playing in his first professional tournament, finished at 159 and was tied for 21st.
Shoal Creek assistant Blanton Tessin birdied his last three holes for a 6-under 66 and won it by seven shots over Old Overton's Todd McCorkle. Both advance to the nationals in Florida.
Just as it did Monday, one bad hole did in Clay's day. This time he took a nine on the par-5 ninth — then followed it with bogeys at 10 and 11.
"It was over after that," he said. "I think 4 under ended up being the number (to advance). I had to do something really special on the back nine for that."
He did — finishing with an eagle at the 502-yard 18th. But it wasn't nearly enough.
"I saw Jordan at the clubhouse," Clay said. "I pointed to him and said, 'This is for you,' and made it."
Evans made a seven-shot improvement over his first-round score. He birdied three of the five par-5s, including 18 to go home with a good feeling.
"I don't know if happy is the word, but I feel better about 76 than 83," he said. "I was kind of disappointed to have a double and a bogey coming in — I was going to try to birdie out. But I'm content with (the round). I know I've got a lot of work left to do to get to where I want to be."
Evans was on the phone describing his round to his sister when Clay hit the green on 18.
"I was wondering if he was on in two or three," Evans said. "I made eye contact, and he pointed to me and said, 'This is for you.' I told my sister he was about to make a putt on 18, but I don't know what it's for. I knew he was going to make it. I'm glad it was for eagle not birdie."

gitty-gitty, the (general | GNU) template generation tools, are a set of scripts for creating a whole set of sources which may already be compiled and installed using the GNU development tools. Think of gtgt as a program which is able to create an already compilable, very sophisticated "hello world" program, written in C or C++ and constituted by a main program, two internal modules (classes), and one static and one shared library, and this complex "Hello World" is already fully embedded into the GNU autoconf/automake development environment. By using gitty-gitty, you will get a template of sources for the main cases you might meet, and which you can also use as examples for automake, autoconf, etc.
GNU Parted is a package for creating, destroying, resizing, checking, and copying partitions and the file systems on them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, copying data between hard disks, and disk imaging. It contains a library, libparted, and a command-line frontend, parted, which also serves as a sample implementation and script backend.
JExpress is a Java installer builder and auto-updater. It gives you your choice of a standalone installer, including both native and cross platform installers and updaters for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, or a Java Web Start one-click install. You create your installer quickly with your choice of a simple wizard or a powerful advanced interface, both included. You can bundle the exact JVM you want with your installer. The auto-updater gives you a continuous revenue stream after the sale. Your software is always up-to-date, so your customers have fewer problems. You also get all the features you expect in a top end installer. Your Java application becomes a native program just like any other. On Windows it's an EXE, on Mac OS X an app bundle, etc. If you need something really special, you can customize your installer by adding simple Java classes. You can even get a source license at a reasonable price.
The JACAL Project is a suite of programs, scripts, guidelines, protocols, documentation, and diskettes that assist in quick, network based loads/builds of machines. It has been used to build 70 University lab machines from scratch (No OS) in two hours. This includes NT service packs and 80+ applications on the NT side.
The Linux From Scratch project is intended for Linux users who want to build their own custom Linux system. Reasons for wanting to build such a system are diverse. Perhaps you want to get into more detail as to what happens behind the scenes. Perhaps you are fed up with the bloated standard distributions. Or perhaps you don't want to rely on pre-compiled binaries out of concerns for security.

Prestressed Micromirror
Model ID: 372
One method of creating spring-like structures or inducing curvature in thin structures is to plate them to substrates that are under the influence of residual stresses.
The plating process can control this stress even for similar materials. One such device is the electrostatically controlled micromirror. It is typically quite small, and arrays of such devices can be implemented in projectors.
This section shows the fundamentals of how to set up and solve the lift-off of a prestressed plated devices. The model shows the use of the large deformation and initial stress features in the MEMS Module.
This model was built using the following:MEMS Module

INDIANAPOLIS –State Senator John Broden (D-South Bend) has been appointed to serve on the Child Services Oversight Committee. The committee was formed from recommendations made by a bipartisan panel reviewing the Department of Child Services (DCS) last year in the wake of a number of high profile child abuse cases across the state.
"This is the first step toward ensuring stronger accountability at DCS," Sen. Broden said. "I am eager to work alongside other stakeholders to strengthen protections and make certain we are doing all we can to keep children in Indiana safe."
The oversight committee will review agency performance data and work with the DCS ombudsman to make recommendations to improve child protection services. Lawmakers signed off on legislation this year creating the oversight committee as well as the Commission on Improving the Status of Children in Indiana. The commission is charged with reviewing legislation and working to streamline and standardize efforts made across agencies to improve child safety.
"DCS has a great deal of responsibility, and legislators want to know what exactly is happening with families under the state's watch. By creating these committees we can improve department transparency and incorporate new changes to strengthen safeguards," Sen. Broden added.
Sen. Broden has also been appointed to the Commission on Education, Judicial Technology Oversight Committee, Regional Campuses Study Committee, Regulatory Flexibility Committee and the Probate Code Study Commission. These appointments were made by Indiana Senate President Pro Tempore David Long (R-Fort Wayne) upon recommendation of Senate Democratic Leader Tim Lanane (D-Anderson).
The Indiana General Assembly annually convenes interim study committees and permanent commissions to conduct in-depth research and analysis of issues affecting the state. Recommendations from these committees are often the basis for future legislation. More information about committee topics, schedules and agendas is available online at www.IN.gov/legislative/interim.

UPDATE (2 p.m. Tuesday): Emergency shelters in Westchester County will continue to be open tonight for residents displaced by Hurricane Sandy, according to the American Red Cross.
Shelters will remain open on a day-to-day basis, according to the Red Cross' Carolyn Sherwin.
Here are the latest numbers of people who were using local emergency shelters:
- Mamaroneck: 65
- Greenwich: 115
- New Rochelle: 11
- Port Chester: 57
- Mount Vernon: 19
- Mount Kisco: 7
- Yonkers: 50 (the Yonkers PAL is now being used to for shelter after the shelter at Lincoln High School was closed Monday night)
As Westchester residents recover from the storm, the Red Cross suggests that residents check in on their neighbors to make sure they are OK. Additionally, the Red Cross urges residents to heed local emergency orders.
As severe winds continued to pound Westchester through the night Monday, more and more people were taking refuge in emergency shelters staffed by about 50 Red Cross volunteers.
Estimates put the number of people at local shelters are more than 200, including:
- As of about 9 p.m., there were 26 people at the emergency shelter set up at Port Chester High School.
In Yonkers, there were nearly 50 people seeking shelter at Lincoln High School and at the Yonkers Pal.
- In Mount Vernon, there were 24 people
- About 60 people at the emergency shelter in Mamaroneck.
- In nearby Greenwich, CT, there were 56 people seeking shelter in a local school.
- In Mount Kisco, so far just one person has sought shelter.

Pagekite is software to make servers on "localhost" visible to the wider Internet. It can be used by Web developers to show off their works in progress to clients or colleagues, embedded developers who need direct access to devices in the field, or as an alternative to dynamic DNS for individuals/hobbyists who would rather host their own content than rely on 3rd party hosting. It creates and maintains a tunnel between your server on localhost and a remote "front-end" (a reverse proxy). Only the front-end has to have a visible IP address; the server itself can reside on a heavily firewalled computer, a mobile device, or even an anonymous node on the Tor network.
Wise is an experimental Web-based notebook and simple computer algebra system based on the Pure programming language. The goal is to provide a digital scratchpad that makes manipulating symbolic expressions fast, accessible, and extensible. Wise is a bottom-up approach to symbolic math written entirely in C and Python. It does not depend on any external math software or libraries (such as Maxima, Axiom, Mathematica, etc.).
